There are certain things about the Dabangg film franchise which have become extremely popular and the fans can’t wait to see them. As the release date of Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3 is coming closer the excitement of the fans is going high.
While characters of Chulbul Pandey and his wife Rajjo are hugely popular, the music of the film is another aspect that has immense love of the audience especially the Hud Hud and the romantic Naina song.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sang Tere Mast Mast Do Nain and Tore Naina Bade Dagabaaz Re in the first and second installments of the series. But it seems we will not be able to enjoy his soothing voice in the third film of the franchise. Bollywood Hungama reports the singer recorded the song but due the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan his voice was later replaced by another singer.
A source close to the project says, “Dabangg films’ songs have been hits and the Dabangg 3 album is no exception. One of the reasons why the ‘Naina’ songs of part 1 and 2 worked so well is because of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s melodious voice. Hence, Salman Khan got him on board for the romantic track of Dabangg 3 as well. The recording went well and everyone was happy with the outcome, including music director duo Sajid-Wajid.”
“However, the tensions then increased between India and Pakistan. An unofficial decision was taken that the industry should stop working with singers from across the border. Since Rahat saab is a Pakistani, Salman and the entire team decided to drop his voice and replace it with that of another singer.”
“The full audio of ‘Tose Naina Lade’ song will be out today and is expected to work big time, despite Rahat saab’s absence,” adds the source but refuses to divulge who replaced the voice of the legendary singer. However, the source tells, “Earlier a decision was taken to release the full audio of a song every three days. That’s not happening but all audio songs of the film will be out this month itself for sure.”
